What to Serve with French Dip Tortilla Roll Ups

These French Dip Tortilla Roll Ups pair beautifully with cozy  soups and fresh sides. A few favorites:

  • A simple green salad with vinaigrette

Tips for Perfect French Dip Tortilla Roll Ups

  • Don’t overfill the tortillas — it makes rolling harder
  • Always place them seam-side down to prevent unrolling
  • Brush generously with butter for maximum crispiness
  • Serve immediately for the best melty texture
  • Warm leftover au jus gently to avoid bitterness

These little tips make a big difference.
